Next week msk blk kolej... Cam cepat sgt je masa berlalu. Huu... Idk, I think i'm sheety scared of this sem coz:
1. I won't be the same house as my previous housemates anymore..juz when I'm starting to get to know them TT_TT. And just when I'm starting to get used to Blok A, the girls have to be moved to Blok B...and I heard it's a damn old building compared to the first..
2. I'll be in the same house with most of my classmates...but I don't know if we're gonna be in the same wavelength. Other girls from different classes will be our housemates as well, and I don't know much...
3. Our beloved class CSD12D (or in short, class D) is no more...we're gonna go to separate classes from now on. Though as far as I know, most of my classmates (including myself) have registered into class A. Then again, we don't know how the original residents of Class A are like...
4. I don't know how our subjects are going to be... It usually gets tougher from one semester to another. Let's do our best *fingers cross*
5. Lecturers... I seriously gonna miss our previous lecturers, especially Pn. Huzaimah TT_TT
6. Scholarship...GAH!!! I haven't even finish half of the essay!!! >__<
Over and out....

college break (Bandung)
I haven't been here for a while, probably coz I didn't know wat I should write here... Hmmmm.. well, since the break starts, I haven't been doing much except going to FB. Yup, I'm practically doing nothing rite now...
Oh, but on 29th November, my family (me, Eli, Ezhan and my parents) went to Bandung for four days...or should I say 3 and a half days. Ezhan already booked the flight a few months ago, but somewhere in between, the airlines suddenly rescheduled our departure. We were supposed to reach Bandung around day, but after the reschedule thing, we reached there at night ---__---|| so much for low-cost flight..
But, going to Bandung was quite worth it. According to mama, Bandung the Asian's 'Paris'...or something like that (wait, or was it my classmate who said that? :S). On our 1st day (the day after we reach Bandung), the factory outlets that we went to were kinda...lame. Idk, probably coz most of them were made in China and all, and none of them really caught our eyes. So after looking around the first batch of factory outlets, we went to Pasar Baru (which is equivalent to Warta in Bangi). There, my mom bought kain like crazy coz, well, there'll be a special occasion next year~~ Hihi. Anyways, the workers of the fabric shop were nice and even gave us one of those Teh Botol. I guess they already expected that we're gonna be there for hours. For the first time in my life, I actually slept on their couch! Heck, I didn't really like going to those shops in the first place, but it was taking my mom SO long!! And my dad and bro just HAD to buy fabrics for their working pants and leisure shirts!! ==__==||
After that, (thank heavens!) our supir (or driver/tourist guide :P) suggested us to go to this Levi's store, so we went...and DANG!!! They were cheap!! Ok, I'm not used to go to Levi's stores here, but Ezhan said that usually Levi's T-shirts in Malaysia cost like RM80 the cheapest. There though, it costs about RM30+... so it was our first splurge. (I bought 2 shirts! yay~)
On the 2nd day, we went to one of the volcanoes, Gunung Tangkuban Perahu (in Malay, it means 'perahu terbalik'. If u look carefully, it does looks like an upside down boat). We went to the office there where the guide told us about the history of the volcano (such as when it exploded, the difference between the cold water and hot water of the volcano and lots more...). After that, the guide recommended us to go down to see one of the volcano's craters, called Kawah Domas (or Domas Crater). It costs about 250,000 rupiah per guide to go see the crater, and 1 guide can only lead 5 people max. My dad suggested that we, the siblings go down to the kawah.
At first I didn't wanna go, coz I knew it'd be a long journey. But wat da heck, I probably won't come back to Bandung after this. Though, Eli and I only wore sandals, coz we didn't think we were gonna go jungle-trekking and all, but we went anyways. Along the way, Eli slipped a bit and almost twisted her ankle (I'm telling you, the road was quite steep and slippery. Thank God they did stair-like roads..), but the guide was kind enough to massage her feet so she won't feel much pain after that. The guide seemed really experienced and has worked there for 20 years. His nephew, a peddler came along to help him (I think) and was kind with us too. Even when we reached the crater, they gave us a somewhat brief reflexology together with the clay mud. Yes, clay, the one that we girls use to wear clay masks.
So after relaxing with our feets in the hot water from the geyser. Eli bought the filtered clay in a bottle and we set off to leave the crater. The guide told us the story behind the name of the volcano...but it was too long so I didn't remember much. What I do remember is that a boy, who lost his memory about his mother, wanted to marry this beautiful woman. The woman however, turned out to be the boy's mother. The boy refused to believe that she was his mother because she looked so young and beautiful, and forced her to marry him. The ending was somewhat weird though.. after the woman disappeared into a mountain, the boy threw the boat that he made furiously into the air, and landed on top of his head. Well, I guess u know what happened to the boy after that... Hence, the name 'Tangkuban Perahu'.
At the end of the journey, the nephew took out the stuffs that he wants to sell to us ie. keychains, bracelets, tasbihs etc. I didn't buy anything at all from him, but my siblings bought the keychains and bracelet. It was the price of the keychains that surprised my brother. He thought it was just 400 rupiah because the peddler told him "4 ratus". But it turns out to be 400,000 rupiah, which is almost equivalent to RM100+.. So on the journey back to the city mama gave us a lecture (or to be precise, "sound" us) about buying those stuffs and all... So yeah, we learn our lesson.
After that, we continued our shopping journey and finally came to some decent factory outlets. Eli and my parents bought some shoes, but Ezhan and I still couldn't found the shoes we want (and with the limited sizes they could offer, it was especially hard for me to find decent ones...). Only at that night I bought a pair at Matahari (it's like their own Parkson). I admit that it wasn't all fancy-wansy, but at least I could wear that to my lecture. Ooh, and I bought a nice top that only costs me 30,000 rupiah, equivalent to RM10 X3 (it was 70% offer btw).
Then on the third day, we didn't really have time to look around more, so we just went to one Busana factory outlet and The Secret, which is by far the most decent and fancy factory outlet I've seen. At the Busana, we bought Zahira a tudung~~ XDD And Mama bought a few more tudung for other people back at home (probably her sisters). Then at around 2.30 pm, we went to the airport for our check-ins and stuffs.
So yeah, that's about it about Bandung. Oh, by the way, if you guys ever go to Bandung, don't forget to try their Baso (aka meatballs). It's sooo good (especially with noodles and soup)!! X3 There was one time though, I ate this one called Baso Granit. When I saw the dish, I thought it was ok. But when I cut the Baso, there were freaking sambal in there, which was still ok though. But after a while of eating it....dang, my tummy's probably gonna explode. IT WAS GOD-DAMN SPICY AND HOT!!!!! Another lesson learned: Granit = BOMB!! @_@||
